- Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams. In 2021, Kupp enjoyed one of the best and most productive seasons any slot receiver will ever have — he caught 117 passes on 144 slot targets for 1,680 yards and 12 touchdowns.
- Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings. Is Justin Jefferson the NFL’s best receiver? A strong case could be made. A strong case could also be made that he’s one of the league’s best slot receivers.
- Christian Kirk, Jacksonville Jaguars. A lot of people guffawed when the Jaguars gave Kirk, who the Cardinals selected with the second round in the 2018 draft, a four-year, $72 million contract with $37 million guaranteed before the 2023 season.
- Tyler Boyd, Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have the NFL’s best receiver corps with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins as their top two, and Boyd — the most underrated member of that group — rounds it out quite nicely.
- Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams. Last season, no other slot receiver approached Kupp’s volume and value. He caught 117 of 144 slot targets for 1,680 yards, and 12 touchdowns — all by far the most in the NFL in 2021.
- Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins. Now that the Chiefs have moved on from Hill, they’ll have to put together a different kind of offense. Because there aren’t other receivers — not even other speed receivers — who can do what Hill does to defenses.
- Davante Adams, Las Vegas Raiders. Adams is the NFL’s best receiver — of that, there is little doubt. He’s a unique threat on the outside, but he’s also a real weapon from the slot.
- Tyler Boyd, Cincinnati Bengals. While Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are the Bengals’ No. 1 and No. 2 receivers, respectively, you can’t run as many 3×1 formations as Cincinnati would prefer without a top-tier slot weapon, and that’s exactly what Boyd was last season.

- Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams. Yards per route run: 2.40. Just one year removed from his historic season with the triple crown, where he led the league in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns, Kupp built off that with another productive season.
- Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions. Yards per route run: 2.40. St. Brown had an incredible breakout season in 2022, staving off the dreaded “sophomore slump.”
- CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys. Yards per route run: 2.39. Lamb has easily become Dallas' No. 1 target, and he got it done on the outside in 2021 before returning to more of the slot role last season.
- Jerry Jeudy, Denver Broncos. Yards per route run: 2.18. Jeudy has been a phenomenal route runner ever since his days playing for Nick Saban at Alabama. He over-emphasizes his moves to create separation, which has become his calling card.
